Patrani Paneer

My first Parsi Dish - and it turned out pretty good.

I was always fascinated by the dish -- Patrani Fish, famous Parsi dish. Many of
my friends swear by it. The idea of trying a vegetarian version had been
playing on my mind for quite sometime but could not bring myself to do it
.

Yesterday, I saw banana leaves at my vegetable vendor and the rest as
they say just unfolded. With great anticipation I tried Patrani Paneer. To my
surprise it turned out to be delicious.
